Coffee-Lake Hackintosh

On this repo you will find the configuration of my hackintosh that i use everyday for working and gaming.

It's been a long journey since the purchase of the components fixing bugs and testing different bootloaders, but it runs incredibly smooth now, and i'm so much happy with it.

Bootloader

This hackintosh runs on OpenCore v0.7.7 release from acidanthera.

I was previously using Clover, never again !

Configuration

I'm currently running macOS 11.6.2 build 20G314 vanilla under SMBIOS iMac19,1 and Windows 10 on the same drive.

Quick hardware tour : Intel Core i9 9900K & AMD Radeon 6900XT running on the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master.

I followed these install steps :

1. macOS + OpenCore : official dortania install guide.
2. Windows 10 : the steps described here
